no, thats rosewood... looks just like the fretboard wood on my RGA7620BBMQM build, real dark, freshly oiled, wide open pores, also the coloration and grain pattern look nothing like the ebony on all 3 of my ebony fingerboarded guitars... i'll post a close up pic once my camera batteries are charged(probably 5 minutes)

The first pic is deceiving. All the others are very obviously rosewood.
